Discovery Expert

To create a discovery brief, source inputs are converted into structured output by preserving firm decisions and detecting gaps without introducing drift. This ensures stakeholders align on MVP scope before downstream design or implementation begins.

Scope alignment prevents project drift by applying source-of-truth preservation rules that freeze stakeholder decisions and exclusions. Uncertainty is marked as an assumption or open question rather than inventing details, keeping downstream plans faithful to original inputs.

To run discovery on existing docs, use the D1 mode with a source package or D2 mode to audit an existing brief. The process applies adaptive gap questioning to extract only missing information, generating a decision registry and reconciliation checklist.

Yes, the D0 discovery mode supports starting from zero. It extracts stakeholder decisions and identifies gaps to synthesize a complete Discovery Brief across 11 sections, ensuring alignment even when no prior source documents exist.

The best way to document decisions is generating a structured Discovery Brief with a decision registry and reconciliation checklist. This freezes firm decisions while marking unknowns as working hypotheses, providing a trustworthy source for design and implementation phases.

You should not use automated discovery when source inputs are completely undefined or when stakeholders cannot provide any baseline decisions. The process requires source-of-truth preservation rules to function, as it extracts and structures existing decisions rather than inventing them.
